A passenger on a United flight was stung by a scorpion — which fell from an overhead compartment and onto his head — the same day a doctor was forcibly dragged from his seat to make room for the airline’s crew members, a report says.

“[It] felt like a wasp sting,” recalled Richard Bell, who was returning home with his wife, Linda, following a two-week vacation in Mexico.

The eight-legged, honey-colored stowaway had somehow made it into the plane’s overhead compartment — likely crawling out of someone’s luggage, the outlet reports.

When it fell out, the scorpion landed in Bell’s hair, but he and his wife had no idea what it was.

“I look down and I thought, ‘Aw, it kind of looks like a little lobster,'” Linda told Global News.

After Bell tossed the inch-and-a-half-long creature off him, another passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 1418 reportedly pointed out that it was dangerous — prompting someone else to stomp on it and throw it in a toilet.

Killing it was ultimately the “worst thing to do,” Bell said, “because when we landed, everyone wanted to see it.”

John Rogers, who was also on the flight, said firefighters and police had to board the plane to assess the situation.

“The pilot announced it,” he said.

An EMS spokesperson told Global News that Bell showed “no signs of distress” after being stung and that he refused medical treatment.

Dr. David Dao’s lawyer on Thursday said the 69-year-old suffered a slew of injuries as a result of being forcibly dragged from his seat and off the plane — including a concussion and the loss of two front teeth.

He explained that his ultimate hope is that Dao becomes the “poster child” for airline abuse of their passengers.

United also made headlines last month when they refused to let two teenage girls board a flight because they were wearing yoga pants.
